Bella Thorne, 23, is kick-starting her 2021 with a romantic vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend, Italian singer Benjamin Mascolo, 27. The love birds were photographed on a beach in Tulum on Jan. 4, where Benjamin was pictured giving Bella a hug. At one point, the Assassination Nation star launched into a workout in short shorts and a bikini top, which led to a very handsy moment.
At one point during the workout, Bella held onto Benjamin’s shoulder to balance herself — while he held onto her butt! As you can see, the couple of nearly two years is on cloud nine; they also showed off PDA in an Instagram post that Bella shared on Instagram on Jan. 2 (see below).
“I’m so proud of u,” Bella gushed under the vacation selfies, which showed the actress snuggling noses with Benjamin. The lovers were celebrating Benjamin’s new solo album, which he announced amid their Mexico getaway on Jan. 2. “Babeeeeee [heart emoji] 2021 is going to be our year,” Benjamin wrote under the sweet photos.
Bella also rang in New Year’s Eve in Tulum, and is appearing to have fun despite ongoing drama with her ex Tana Mongeau, 23. Exactly one month prior to Bella’s beach date with Benjamin in Tulum, the Disney Channel alum released a music video called “SBF” (shortened for the song’s chorus, “stupid f–king b–ch), which many fans presumed to be about Tana.
Throughout the song, Bella accused Tana (without naming her) of using her “for clout” and of trying to “mimic” her. Then, on Jan. 2, Tana dropped a reaction video titled: “Bella Thorne made a HORRIBLE song about me and we reacted to it..”
Bella split from the famous YouTuber in Feb. 2019, and at the time, the breakup sounded amicable. “I love her forever don’t get that twisted. she changed my life forever. don’t rly wanna talk on it.. there’s no negativity at all,” Tana tweeted at the time. Fast forward two years later, and Tana promised that if her reaction video gets 500,000 “likes” that she and her friends will “come back with all of our worst stories about Bella Thorne.” Bella doesn’t appear to be sweating over the drama, though, as she enjoys her time with Benjamin in Mexico.
